The title really says it all but after a 12 week paid + 6 week unpaid maternity leave I’ve decided not to return to my job. I currently have 3 weeks remaining before my return to work date. I’m planing on giving notice sometime next week (basically 2 weeks before I’d return). Any tips or anticipated pitfalls for this conversation? I know I’m likely going to have to reimburse for my insurance premiums but there’s nothing in the handbook about reimbursing the paid portion of leave if I don’t come back.
FWIW I don’t plan to be a SAHM, I’m going to find another job. But returning to this job makes me feel ill.
